Definitions

  • EKS effective anti-trap systems
  • IEE Interlink Electronics Europe, Zone Industrielle, L-6401 Echtemach / Luxembourg, hereinafter referred to as IEE, is the holder of international patents for the Force Sensing Resistor TM technology (FSR TM and Force Sensing Resistor TM are trademarks of IEE) and has developed FSR TM, which is currently available as Switching element for such EKS in electrical window lifters, electrical Sunroofs and a variety of other electrically moving parts, some of which trapping should be prevented, can be used and which react and react much more sensitively to other systems to be set in relation to occurring actions.
  • FSR TM Force Sensing Resistor TM technology
  • This Document describes a security system to prevent trapping on an electrically operated locking element with an FSR sensor is glued to the edge of the closing element. In the event of a pinch between the edge of the closing element and an associated frame the FSR sensor is triggered and the movement of the closing element is interrupted.
  • the purpose of the invention is to offer the FSR TM all of this and in particular its use electrical in the automotive industry in the area of pinching hazards enable actuated units such as window regulators, sunroofs, etc.
  • the hollow chamber profile is a guide profile designed which has a substantially U-shaped cross section, with a base area and two extending from the base area Legs, the hollow chamber in the base region of the hollow chamber profile is arranged
  • a hollow chamber profile offers e.g. the possibility of this with mounting options (Adhesive tape, clamping or insertion areas, etc.) which are individually adapted to the place of use.
  • Another advantage of the hollow chamber profile is that depending on the width and Purpose of an FSR TM in an EKS a corresponding hollow chamber in Various types of sealing profiles (edge gap seals of sunroofs, Window guide profiles of electrically moved windows, door seals at electrically closing doors, etc.) can be inserted or extruded and in the Geometry adapted to the requirements of the switching function can be.
  • FIGS. 1-3 shown embodiments.

Claims (7)

  1. Profilé souple à chambre creuse, gommeux, extrudé, servant de profilé de logement de capteurs pour loger et protéger des capteurs pouvant être activés sous l'effet d'une pression et présentant une chambre creuse dans laquelle peut être placé un capteur pouvant être activé sous l'effet d'une pression, le profilé à chambre creuse présentant différentes duretés d'une partie à l'autre de manière que, en cas de pression agissant sur le profilé à chambre creuse, le profilé à chambre creuse commande, en raison de ses caractéristiques de déformation, le capteur pouvant être activé sous l'effet d'une pression, caractérisé en ce que le profilé à chambre creuse est réalisé comme profilé de guidage présentant une section transversale pour l'essentiel en forme de U ayant une partie de base et deux branches qui s'étendent au départ de cette partie de base, la chambre creuse se trouvant dans la partie de base du profilé à chambre creuse.
  2. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le profilé à chambre creuse est extrudé au départ d'un élastomère présentant différents degrés de dureté Shore et/ou différentes densités volumiques d'une partie à l'autre.
  3. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que le profilé à chambre creuse est coextrudé au départ de plusieurs élastomères présentant différents degrés de dureté Shore et/ou différentes densités volumiques.
  4. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon la revendication 2 ou 3, caractérisé en ce que la partie de base présente une dureté moindre que les branches.
  5. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon l'une des revendications 1 à 4, caractérisé en ce que le profilé à chambre creuse est fabriqué en EPDM (monomère d'éthylène, propylène et diène) et/ou en TPE (élastomères thermoplastiques) et/ou en PVC (polychlorure de vinyle).
  6. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon l'une des revendications 1 à 5, caractérisé en ce que dans la partie de base du profilé à chambre creuse est aménagée une saillie qui pénètre en forme de bourrelet dans la chambre creuse, cette saillie exerçant, lorsque la chambre creuse est soumise à une pression, une pression sur le capteur qui peut être activé sous l'effet d'une pression et commandant celui-ci.
  7. Profilé souple à chambre creuse selon la revendication 6, caractérisé en ce que la saillie en forme de bourrelet présente une matière plus dure que le reste de la partie de base du profilé à chambre creuse.
